Britannica 1.5

An article over at TechCrunch points to some of the changes that are going on over at Britannica, most noticeably their new Webshare program:

A special program for web publishers, including bloggers, webmasters, and anyone who writes for the Internet. You get complimentary access to the Encyclopedia Britannica online and, if you like, an easy way to give your readers background of the topics you write about with links to complete Britannica articles.

It would seem to be a move where everybody wins, Britannica's content is promoted for free, whilst bloggers and other publishers get access to a high quality encyclopedia. Unfortunately they "reserve the right to deny participation to anyone who in our judgment doesn’t qualify", so I will have to wait and see if they deem my blog worthy.
